 It is evident that, so far as Connecticut is concerned, the saying that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer is not true. That it is not is shown by the state ment of the condition of the savings banks of the State. It is not the rich, as a rule, who use savings banks, but the poor and those who are trying to 'fget ahead.'' There was an increase of over ten thousand depositors in the savings banks of this State during the last year, and the whole number now con- siderably exceeds two hundred and fifty thousand. The increase in deposits by coun- ty is: Hartford s1, 155, TIT, New Haven ST. 423, ,O31, New London $679, ,S11, Fairfield $1,- 041, ,012, Litchfeld $166, 6,Oe7, Middlesex $19s,- 335, Windham $175, ,39s, Holland s94, ,02e The amount due depositors by the savings banks is $97, ,424, ,S20.s5, an increase of over $4, ,000, 900 during the year, of $16, ,902, ,520 in l five years, of SIS, 900, ,648 in ten years, of l $34, TOT, ,006 in fifteen years and of $66, ,244,- 430 in twenty years. The deposits received during the year, including interest credited, l were $23, ,285, 7s4. .45. The amount withdrawn during the same time was SIS, ,342, ,489. 03. The increase in deposits is greater than any year since 1872. The number of new &C., counts opened is 42,664, an increase of 5, ,51O. More than one third of the entire population of the State are depositors with amounts less than $500, and more than forty per cent are depositors.
 This is fine showing, and will surprise many people who have an idea that this has been bad year. An increase of over $4,- 900, 900 in deposits during the year indicates that labor and thrift are still profitable. The Bridgeport Standard very truly says of the state of things shown by these figures: We have reason to be thankful that SO large a portion of our population is thrifty, indus trious, self-supporting, and that the evil dences of it's thrift and industry grow by such remarkable annual accretions in the savings banks, in the homes, in the small in dustries and in the thousand other forms in . which savings are put aside by those who do not throw away their chances, but make the most of the opportunities offered them and with intelligent industry constantly seek to better their condition. Of those who are above the average in wealth to-day, in this State, nine-tenths commenced poor and won their way by their own superior intelligence. thrift, industry and economy. This way is open to all. and if a man does not reach it the fault is quite as often in himself as in the circumstances which surround him.

CHARACTERS IN HAIR.
Raven Locks and Gold Haired Hero.

Raven Locks and Gold Haired Hero. If we might judge from the Penny Awful, and even from the Shilling Shocker, there is moral fataety in hair, says an observer in CasselFs Family Magazine for December. The dark-eyed woman with the ''wealth of raven locks" is find of deep plots and ma chinations, bent upon the destruction of the heroine with golden hair-or we believe the approved form is now the s'gold head'-and the violet eyes. About one thing the world has made up it's mind, or at least the world of superficial observers, who have sheep like tendency to keep together; and that one thing is that a strong-minded woman in fc- tion ought to be a brunette, and that sen sitive, tender, gentle creature is to be de picted as a blonde. This is a par with the old melodramas, where the heroine al
 ways wore white and came on the stage to slow music. The heroines of our hearts did
 not appear crossing our life's scenes to slow
 music-did theys Nor were they gifted with
 sympathy, tenderness and sweetness accord
 ing to the color of their hair. The world of
 melodrama and of nine-tenths of our fc-
 tion is not the world we live in. As mat
 ter of fact, the real golden hair is gift as
 as the voice of prima donna; and the
 'wealth of raven locks" goes often with the softest of natures-those sensitive, and yet
 unsel6sh beings, of whom we might say that
 wonderful word of praise that it took Mime.
 Stael's genius to invent-"She was more a
 woman than all the rest of women."
 If the color is not to be taken as an index, the habitual appearance is safe guide to at least few points of character. Our faces carry with them the story of our lives, though it be written in hieroglyphs unread; to some extent we ourselves have made them
 what they are; not the features, but the ex- pression is our making, formed unconscious iy all our life. In just the same way it is not the hair itself, but, so to say, the expres- sion we have given it that tells the tale. White, black or gray, brown, ruddy, yellow, ashen or faxen-what matters its-our hearts and our ways are not colored to match Curly straight-how could we help ita But our care and our carelessness, our work and our troubles, have given it an appearance of it's own, which is part of our individuality; and therein are the secrets of character.

 It has been discovered that publishing a good newspaper in small city for two cents a copy doesn't pay. The Union and Adver- tiser and the Democrat and Chronicle, of Rochester, New York, raised their price New Years day from two to three cents, frankly avowing that they couldn't afford to go on in the old way any longer. Three cents is cheap enough for such papers.
 The laws delay makes any quantity of trouble. It is now nearly two years since prohibiting the manufacture and sale of oleo- margarine, "or any other article designed to take the place of butter" The Court of Dauphin county has sustained the constitu- tionality of this act, but the question still remains undecided in the Supreme court of Pennsylvania. In the meantime manufac- turers and retailers are not permitted to make and deal in the prohibited article.
 About eight thousand miles of railroad were constructed during the year 1886. This amount of building has been exceeded in but two years in the history of the country. In 1881 9,796 miles were built and in 1882 il ,568 miles. Of the 5000 constructed in 1886, 3,352 miles were in the Southern and Southwestern States. In the Northwest 2,553 miles were built. The rest was dis tributed through the Middle and Pacific States, with the exception of thirty-one miles to be credited to New England. It is be- heved that this activity in railroad building indicates ''good times" for this year.
 Senator Logan was apparently not much of fnaneier. Fifteen years ago it was esti- mated that he owned property in and around Chicago that was worth about $100,000, but the panic of 1873 cleaned him out, and he has since had nothing to depend upon but his salary of s5,0oo year as senator. sev- eral years ago he owned farm in Illinois, and although he was warned that geologi-
